SAFETY GARMENT-RACK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed September 8, 1914. Serial No. 860,632.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK PASTOR, subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety Garment-Racks, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in safety garment rack.

The primary object of this invention is to provide a garment rack upon which such articles as a coat, hat and umbrella may be suspended and securely locked against any unauthorized removal therefrom.

A further object is to provide a cage covering means for a hat and adapted upon closing to retain a hat therein, as well as to lockingly engage another article such as an umbrella.

l/Vith these general objects in view and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and set forth in the appended claim.

In the drawings forming a part of this application and in which like-designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device, illustrating a coat and an umbrella secured therein. Fig. 2 is a vertical central sectional view of the device with a hat illustrated in its locked position in dotted lines. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail perspective view of the looking end portion of the hat cage frame. Fig. 4 is a central transverse sectional view through the hat engaging means, and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the lower corner portion of the mounting board.

Referring more in detail to the drawing it is now designed to provide a means for supporting articles such'as the coat 10, umbrella 11, and hat 12, upon a mounting board 13 and to so retain the same thereon by means herein set forth, so that by the manipulation of a padlock, the articles may be readily locked and thereafter released from their supported positions.

An oval shaped frame 1 1 is provided with a central opening 15 and has a cage 16 mounted upon its outer face and surrounding the said opening. The said frame is while a hook 18 which is secured to the outer Patented Aug. 3, 1915.

face of said board is adapted to receive a hatsueh as 12 hung thereon, and when so, positioned the frame and cage are swung upon the hinges 17 to a flat engagement of the frame with the board, thus inclosing the hat in its supported position.

A downwardly extending tongue 19 upon the frame 14 is provided with a slot 20 adapted to be positioned over the staple 21 of the board 13, and whereupon the positioning of a padlock 22 through the said staple effectually locks the frame in its closed position and with the hat secured upon the hook 18. A garment hook 23 upon the board 18 is adapted to support such an article as a coat 10 while a chain 2A having one end thereof attached to the said hook 23 is adapted to pass through the coat sleeve 25 and have its opposite end retained by the padlock 22 in the manner best illustrated in Fig. 1.

A casing 26 having one open side is secured to the tongue 19 and is provided with a slot 27 in one side thereof, and through which slot a handle 28 of an umbrella is adapted to be slid when the frame 1 1 is par tially opened. The head or knob 29 at the free end of the umbrella handle is adapted to rest within the casing and to prevent a removal of the handle therefrom. It will be thus seen that when the umbrella handle is so engaged by the casing 26, and the frame 1 1 is locked against the board 13,

the open side of the casing will be closed by the board, thus preventing the removal of the umbrella. A garment rack is thus provided in which a hat, and an umbrella portion are housed in locked position, thus preventing the theft of such articles, while by the same look, a coat or other garment is also retained against unauthorized removal.

V'Vhile the forms of the invention herein shown and described are what are believed to be the preferred embodiments thereof, minor changes may be made in the form thereof, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the claim.

What I claim as new is A garment support comprising in combination with a board having a lock staple and garment hook carried thereby, a fiat oval-shaped frame hinged at its upper end to said board and flatly engaging the same, there being a central opening in said frame, a screen surrounding said opening, a centrally disposed tongue extending downwardly from the lower end of said frame, there being an opening in said tongue for the reception of said staple, a casing, hav ing an open side with one wall formed integral with the lower end of said frame, and having another Wall formed integral with said tongue, the open side of the casing facto hold the frame and board relatively irn- 1 movable.

In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FRANK PASTOR.
